Another fuel pump question

A brand new fuel pump has been installed onto my 300 but now there is a leak at the outlet. What can be done to stop this? I have tried tightening the bolt but the leak persists. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Teflon tape? I just installed one last week and it's what I used and have no leaks. I'd highly recommend it if you haven't.

If you did and it's still leaking, is the brass fitting stripped?

Teflon tape worked like a charm. Didn't think that it would be such an easy fix,but I'm not complainin' either. Thanx for the advice.

Glad it worked! It's nice when the simple fixes work the best.
